Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com, today we're gonna take a quick look at this trailer axle with the E-Z Grease Spindles. This is gonna be a great option for those of you who are needing to replace an axle on your trailer, or if you're building your own custom trailer, and you're wanting to have more of a customized suspension system, this will also work for that as well. But of course, there are lots of different axles out there, different weight capacities, different lengths, so you wanna make sure that you're getting the right one for you. This is a three inch diameter round steel axle beam, it's got a max weight capacity of 7,000 pounds, so if you have a single axle trailer with a 7,000 pound weight capacity, this will work great for that, but if you have a dual axle trailer, this about weight capacity will obviously double with two axles. The next thing you're gonna need to know is the length, so there's two different ways to measure the length for this axle, the first is gonna be from our spring seats here, which is where our leaf springs attach. That is welded onto our axle so it is gonna be a nice static point of reference for us to measure from.

So from the center of one spring seat to the center of the other, it's gonna be right at 79 and a quarter of an inch. The other way to measure is from your hub face, obviously this axle doesn't have the hubs, those are sold separately, but once you get your brakes and hubs put in place from the hub face on one side to the hub face on the other, it's right at 95 inches. So, if you need a different axle, different weight capacity, different length, we do have lots of other options available here at etrailer.com, so again, make sure you're getting the right one for you. So this axle does have a slight bend right here in the middle, and that's gonna be our camber, and it's going to ensure that as our trailer is under load, our wheels are gonna be at the correct angle so that it's gonna have full road to tread contact across the width of your tire. So, you're not going to have to worry about uneven tire wear, and it's gonna be great for your straight line acceleration, and nice steady towing.

Our spindles are welded in place using a patented welding process that actually allows the spindle to slide over the axle rather than just budding up against it. So that's gonna create about a 40% stronger weld to help prevent spindle failure, it's also going to ensure proper spindle alignment so everything is gonna be in line like it needs to be. You can see this spindle does have a four inch drop, that's going to lower our axle beam and provide a lower deck height so it's gonna be easier to load and unload our gear from our trailer. And then of course, our spindles are the E-Z Grease Spindles, so they do have that built in grease zerk on the end there that's going to make it super easy to hook up your grease gun, pump some grease in there, it's gonna come out this hole here to help fill up that cavity, make sure everything is well lubricated in between your normal maintenance to make sure that your bearings and all that are packed properly. The axle is pre-wired for your electric brakes, so if I zoom back in here, you can see, we've got a dual wire system here that's going to allow us to run this from one side of the axle to the other side.

So it's going to be super easy to hook up your brakes and get that all connected properly, one less wire that you have to run once you get that installed. Your brake flange is here, it's got your mounting points, it's gonna be super easy to get brakes put in place. And then our spring seats, as I mentioned, they are welded onto our axle, they're welded on the underside, so we'll be able to mount our leaf springs in the underslung orientation to create a nice low ride height, again, making it easier to load and unload our gear. So, this is CSA, QAI, and SAE-N certified, so you can trust it is gonna do a good job for you. It's gonna meet those high quality standards so you can trust it is gonna do a good job, hold up well.

It also comes with a limited lifetime warranty, so if you we're to have any problems with it, you're more than welcome to reach out to us here at etrailer.com. We're always happy to work with our customers to make sure you're getting good quality products and having a good experience. So, overall, as long as that weight capacity and length work for you, I think this is gonna be a great axle to meet your needs and get the job done so that you can enjoy that trailer again. That's gonna complete our look for today, again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com, thanks for watching..
